[Rehabilitation after serious perforating eye injuries (author's transl)].

Abstract

In a recent study of perforating eye injuries the authors found that in 21% there was no binocular function. To prevent complications arising from this, early fitting of hard contact lenses seems necessary. The problems of fitting contact lenses to posttraumatically aphakic eyes are discussed, with special regard to aniseikonia.
